WAG - God’s Been Good to Me
With some major deadlines creeping up on me this week, I've been on the edge of a nervous wreck.
I have a major article due Wednesday afternoon with a source who wouldn't schedule me in until Tuesday morning. I also had a mid-term scheduled for Wednesday. There were also a slew of other assignments due.
I knew this week was going to be a bit much.
Late last week, I was starting to get nervous about soon being nervous, but the true wave hadn't struck me yet. The initial pangs of the actual assault began to ping Sunday evening. Walking to class this morning, I could feel the start of a mood swing, but knew figured things would really go batty Tuesday.
This afternoon, I got this email:
In a message dated 3/1/2004 1:52:22 PM Central Standard Time, Sandydsays [MY INTERNET LAW PROFESSOR] writes:
Hi! I'm not feeling well and will not be able to go to class. Therefore, class is cancelled. Please take the opportunity to enjoy this warm, windy afternoon. I'd suggest a nice walk, preferably with a dog or two.
The exam on Wednesday will be a take-home exam due the next Monday. [!!!]
Take care, and avoid people who look contagious.

So, my schedule will still be tough, but it feels like it has become infinitely more manageable.
I'll still be scrambling to write like the Dickens, but I don't have to worry about going into the midterm unprepared.
You know, when you still have to put on a one-act play, write a 500-page paper, finish scheduling classes, and still knock out a narrative profile in 48 hours, but you don't feel frantic, life is good. And there's only one person to thank for that.
Don't say I didn't give you enough credit in this case, this time Lord.
Please remember that when I'm burning off the type on my keyboard while frenetically composing tomorrow.
